Why You May Have A Birth Injury Claim?

Every year in the United States there are at least 44,000 deaths as the result of medical errors, according to a report by the Institute of Medicine. That figure could actually go as high as 98,000. Medical malpractice or negligence by physicians in their diagnosis and/or treatment of fetal distress can be summarized in the following common categories:

Wrongly interpreting the test results of monitoring

Failure to appropriately monitor the fetus

Not properly identifying fetal distress signs

Not recommending proper treatment options for complications that can cause fetal distress

Failure to order a cesarean delivery when indicators show the fetus to be in distress

Not properly following up with the patient

This list is by no means exhaustive. Malpractice can encompass many other forms. If you believe that a medical professional such as a doctor, nurse, hospital or other medical care provider did not properly detect and/or treat your child’s fetal distress, you should immediately contact us using our form on the right hand side.
